This Is What Happens When You Don’t Stretch

I’ve had leg cramps in my day… Like a lot of leg cramps. The worst of them were, of course, during the teenage years when my bones were grossly out pacing my muscles as far as growth was concerned. I would wake up screaming in the night, jump out of bed, try and put some weight on it, and stretch it out.

Cramps are nowhere near where they used to be, but every now and then, I get a twitchy muscle. These ones are kind of fun, especially when you can watch them go – the muscle pulsates and twitches involuntarily, and typically doesn’t hurt much, if at all – it looks pretty neat.

This video, is not that.

This is a post-workout muscle cramp. Instead of standing up to stretch it out, dude whips out his phone and makes a video – it’s terrible, and nearly impossible to look away.
